I posted almost the exact same question about a year ago, and got no replies, and nobody seemed to have even heard of this thing. I went ahead and bought it because the price was right and it seemed...

Last month, while on a nice long, slow and boring cruise through the Indian Ocean on a brand new drillship, I got to looking at some of the fine equipment on display at Roy Mottram's website,...

I just bought a new Pro-Ject Xpression III with an upgraded cartridge (Ortofon Bronze). While I was doing the setup on it, I discovered that I had a copy of the Hi-Fi News Analog Test LP, so I...

+1 on the Audioengine A5's. Hooked up to a really cool Chinese DAC & my MAC.

Those things are freaking me out.

I really like the HK. Mine is nowhere near burned in yet because I work offshore & have been overseas for most of the last 3 months, but it sounds great right out of the box. It has bass management...

For some bizarre reason, I have ordered a custom new tube preamp from tubes4hifi.com, the SP12. Got it with all available options & upgrades, plus a set of Roy's best tubes and the PH12 phono preamp...

+1 on the HK 3490.

It just can't be beat at the price.

If you want to see some phenomenal deathmetal-goth type album artwork, check out this young lady (about 20?) from Lithuania:

She has done quite a bit of album...

I've made some improvements to my 2 channel system that I thought I would share here to get some feedback. I had been using the Emotiva XPA-2 with UPA-1 & Marantz SA8001 SACD. Here's what I have now:...

Not only that, but a lot of music nowadays is not recorded "live". They might do percussion one day, instruments another day and vocals a different day, or some variation thereof. So there never...

Wow, thanks for all the help. I am attracted to that Vista Audio i34 amp in particular. I downloaded the manual for it and it seems to fit the bill, and the price is right.

I do have a tube amp...

New used one anyway.

My experience with tube equipment is pretty limited though, so therefore the request for help. I really like this one here:

Anybody had a listen to this thing?

Newer model from Onkyo, has some great specs & user reviews. I'm thinking about it.

I have both of those receivers. The RR2150 is a much better sounding piece of gear, and is one of the best pieces of equipment I own. It is so good that it is the reason that I sold my NAD C372...

My brand new used Sansui G-9000 arrived yesterday. This thing is MASSIVE! I've owned a few '70's receivers before, including one new one I had when I was a teenager, but none were anything quite like...

I just bought a Furman Elite 15 PFI (not hooked up yet). In the "features" section of the book, it says "Power Factor Technology provides over 45 amps peak charge surplus current for power-starved...

I've always wanted one of those ole '70's silver receivers with the nice wood cabinet, not necessarily to use for critical listening, but just to have because they're cool.

I finally ran across...

There is an acrylic platter upgrade for this TT. Thing is, most indications are that you normally use an acrylic platter without a mat. True?

Wow. Never knew any of that.

The platter on this thing appears to be metal of some sort. The spindle is about an inch high, and is threaded on the end for the clamp that comes with it. This...

It has the stock platter on it. I was unaware of a platter upgrade.

As for the clamp, coin is no problem there, but it's backordered. What is a "reflex clamp" & how does it work?

The TT I have now is new (MMF5.1). It was not set up properly when I got it, so there was a learning curve there. I think I got it right finally. I got the Phono Cartridge Alignment tool from TT...

I'm having a blast.

Some of the "conversations" here at CP can be fun too.

Dammit man!

I didn't mean to start a war!

Here's the cal sheet. Had to scan it to a .jpg in order to post it.

Right, offshore, out of Singapore at the moment.
